[Sendaz]

Caution: This Thread contains senseless Humor and may affect those with Humor Sensitive Tourettes.


Now some are complaining about how limited the Street Sams seem to appear coming out of the gate.

Bulldrek I say, because they can literally do it all. See Below:

Punching someone in the face (Decking)

Hitting someone with a Combat Axe (Hacking)

Kicking someone in the arse repeatedly (Rebooting)

Having a beer at the nightclub while you wait for a meet (Downloading)

Hitting on the teenyboppers who slipped into the Nightclub (Sleaze)


And its not just the techno side, they got mystical skills too:

Lobbing a grenade into a small enclosed room (Turn Flesh to Goo) See also: Chunky Salsa Effect

Lobbing a WP grenade (Fireball)

Using a Flamethrower (Flamethrower)

Using a sap on the back of someone's head (Clout)

Using a Jammer (Static)


So have some fun and see what you can come up with for these swiss army knives of archetypes.

And it doesn't stop there!

Street Sammies can even Initiate!!

That's right, they can learn the Higher Mysteries of Meta-Sammies via Initiation (They are often referred to as 'pledges' during this secretive process (vow of secrecy) though it has been hinted that it involves heavy use of spirits, bing cherries and paddles)

Once on this path they can learn the following Meta-Sammies:

Sammie wearing a balaclava (Masking)

Sammie throwing darts (Centering)

Sammie forging a name on the hotel register of a backwoods town that still uses offline paper logins. (Flexible Signature)

Sammie outrunning his teammates as they flee an enraged dragon (Quickening) See also: Dramatic finishing move used in a sword fight.

Sammie ducking behind cover instead of standing in the middle of the alley shooting (Shielding)

Sammie taking a bath (Cleansing) (rarely learned)

We are not limiting this to magic (Thorya above shows some fine sammie decking and surgical skills), we are covering ALL the awesome abilities of Street sammies..whether its decking, magic, street doc, face skills... whatever because deep down inside we all know Sammies can do it all!

Depends.. if vomiting on someone else = elemental attack

and it would probably be stun drain unless:

A) you blow red rice out of your nose (actual experience from eating Chinese early in the evening before downing a lot of kamikazes and grain alcohol one night and no, the rice was not red going in... )

B) Lose control of the vehicle you were driving at the time due to said puking

C) any other expulsion that contains copious amounts of blood or organ pieces

I'm sensing a bit of hostility towards mages in this post. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Grabbing someone's arm and making them punch themselves repeatedly in the face. (control actions)

[Umidori]

Hostility toward mages? Hardly. Sammies just know the cardinal rule of combat: "Geek the mage first!"

Plus to be fair the mage got off easier. He was at least dead before being set on fire. I get the impression his crippled buddy was still kicking when said 'Hot Potato' was deployed.
